Özet

Ankle  joint  mobility  is  extremely  important  in  standing,  walking  and  daily  activities. Restriction of the ankle movements occurs in the foot and anklepathologies. Various methods are used to measure the ankle joint motion. Conventional methods are plastic goniometer and inclinometer in single plane. In that methods, measurements were made by contacting to foot, which  causes  measurement  errors.  Hi-Tec  medical  tools  that  can perform  this  evaluation expensively. For this reason, there are needs for reliable and economical devices. The aim of our study was to design a non-contact evaluation instrument controlled by the video camera. The correlation between ankle range of motion degrees obtained from conventional method (plastic  goniometer)  and  non-contact  range  of  motion  measurement  device  results  will  be investiga  ting  in  healthy  university  students.  In  addition,  the measured  information  will transfer to the computer environment and processed.
